LED... Build or Buy?
If your looking to go diy, check out the thread on reef central regarding the DIY array using Ecotech Radion bulb boards. You can buy 2 boards from Ecotech for $150, hook them up to powersupplies and drivers and you can get a DIY Radion for half the price of a new one. You can find the Gen 2 upgrade array boards on Ecotechs Parts website.

You could then use something like a storm controller for the control.

You could easily build 3x fully controllable Radion Gen 2 (2arrays per unit) units for under $1K
